Are Republicans running scared?

[kentuck]

Ron Johnson looked scared when the reporters were trying to catch him to ask him a question about the fake electors.

I'm sure he is not the only one. The truth is gradually coming out and they cannot handle the truth. It makes them look guilty.

They were silent and complicit in a crime - a crime to overturn an election and to install their own dictator into power. Now they fear being discovered.

If they were not afraid, they would proudly step forward and announce what they did and why they did it? We are not seeing that.

There's a sense of desperation in their voices as they try to minimize the attempted coup as a "non-story". For them, it is a "non-story".

What they fear is that many Americans, including Republicans, do not see it as the trivial matter which they attempt to portray.

I think a few of them may be running scared.

1. Recommended.

I'd say quite a few are.

[Walleye]

2. Johnson resorted to a fake phone call so he wouldn't have to answer questions about fake electors

Could be he is a fake US senator

[NanceGreggs]

3. It's more than a few ...

... who are running scared.

"If they were not afraid, they would proudly step forward and announce what they did and why they did it."

Exactly.

4. I'd say right now they are just at Susan Collins...

level of concern.
When or if the DOJ indicts someone of real significance, then they will worry.

9. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

32. Tragic but you have a way with words

[Jade Fox]

5. I think the Republican Party as a whole......

is getting ready to jettison Trump and his minions, and move on to someone more viable. Like DeSantis

[OLDMDDEM]

33. Whose policies happen to be worse than TFG

[Claustrum]

6. No. They just hate any media that isn't Fox Noise or right wing.

They don't want to answer real questions. But they won't hesitate one bit when Fox Noise is interviewing them with questions that favors them and will not challenge whatever lies they tell.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Whack-a-mole.

Every time one sticks their head up, they get whacked with the hammer of justice.

I think I’m enjoying it immensely.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

8. They should be.

The level of rot, deceit, and criminality in their party stinks to high heaven.

[msfiddlestix]

10. Personally, I see no evidence of the "republicons" running scared.

I see a few scrambling to solidify their cover....

but they all know they'll scrape by without a scratch.

[Ocelot II]

11. Not scared enough.

[Novara]

12. The guilty are acting guilty, aren't they?

"No you're not. I can see your screen."

- Reporter chasing Ron Johnson pretending to be on a phone call.

13. "I think a few of them may be running scared."

Hopefully all the way to Moscow - for good.

16. 👍

14. The "base" doesn't CARE about anything other than being given free reign to HATE.

[wryter2000]

28. True, but

The base is nowhere near a majority of people in the country. They may own some states, where no Dem can get elected, but others, like Wisconsin, can be convinced. Ron Johnson was already on shaky ground. This is not helping him. If the outrage over the treatment of Ms. Moss and her mother and grandmother continues into the fall, it may get some folks to vote who wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

So, certainly, not all Republicans are scared, but I think some are.

[NoMoreRepugs]

31. I sure hope so. Even a 3-4% swing would be enormous.

[Joinfortmill]

15. GOP needs to burned to the ground.

[unweird]

17. Only a non-story because it wasn't successful...

this time.

[bringthePaine]

18. lotsa dirty drawers in the refuKKKchicken laundry about now...

[GoCubsGo]

19. I'd say, given how much screeching he has been doing lately, Trump is scared, as well.

The same goes for Junior, Rudy, Bannon, and their Propaganda Channel mouthpieces.

[Traildogbob]

20. Not hero's

I am sick of the ones testifying talking about looking to god to not follow trumps orders. The one that claimed he pulled out his pocket BuyBull and referred to Daniel for guidance. And yesterdays, with the Arizona rep in tears talking about God leading him. And after, saying he would still vote for trump🤬 What did God and the BuyBull tell em about staying silent for over a year until shit started hitting the fan?
Did Jesus keep quite about sins and sinners to not rile up his base, and keep his power, and only spoke out if God came down in him?
No leniency for pretending to be a good Christian’s. Treason is treason, accomplices are accomplices, face the consequences.

[IronLionZion]

21. Time for some of them to face legal consequences

[efhmc]

22. Sadly, no. Remember: IOIYAR

[gab13by13]

23. I would love to see Fani Willis subpoena him,

so long as it doesn't give him immunity.

[Jacoby365]

24. Ron Johnson always looks scared, imo

[Escurumbele]

25. The best part was Rom Johnson pretending to be on the phone, the reporter said "no, you are not, I

can see your phone screen." After a few seconds, Johnson's few brain noodles warned him to stop acting, and then he started saying "its a non-story"...I wish the reporter had said, "well, it is a story for the FBI".

[OMGWTF]

26. Hey Ron, why'd you go to Russia on July 4, 2018?

You traitorous POS.

[relayerbob]

27. The only thing they are afraid of

is that Trump will publish the kompromat on these liars, or that they will lose their meal ticket.

[LeftInTX]

29. Wake me up when they run!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. I missed the story about a fake phone call? Saw

On Morning Joe. Did someone prove that he really wasn't talking to anybody?
